    Preparation Steps

    1

    Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.

    2

    In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and lime zest.

    3

    In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and mix well.

    4

    Gradually mix in the lime juice, milk, and tequila. Gently fold in the dry ingredients until just combined.

    5

    Mix until you have a smooth batter. Fill the muffin liners about ¾ full.

    6

    Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

    7

    While the cupcakes are baking, prepare the frosting: In a bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add the heavy cream and a splash of lime juice, and mix until creamy.

    8

    Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting. Garnish with lime frosting and a lime slice on top.
